Scenario 1: Relationship Management (Questions 24 and 25) You manage an
extremely busy team of six people who are your organization's HR department. The
November to December period is the busiest time of the year. December is
approaching, and your department is undoubtedly beginning to feel the strain.
Matters are reaching the breaking point. Staff morale is dropping, people are getting
frustrated, and errors are increasing. Your staff is openly questioning what is expected
of them. They seem confused about the department's overall objectives. However, the
situation is not irretrievable if you act now. Complaints from company management
and staff have not yet significantly increased. Urgent action is required.
24. What actions would you take under these circumstances?
A. Set up weekly meetings with your team to review department status; set up some
short-term objectives.
B. Inform the team that there is too much careless work and announce the
introduction of a formal record of errors.

team.
D. Meet with your team; inform them that you will pay the best-performing team
member in December a special performance bonus in January.
